You will have a hard time not saying”wow” every time you turn a corner- from the gated entrance to the beautiful pool and wonderful trullo. Cristina has thought of everything! Its very clean, well stocked ( we stayed for 4 days and disnt want to leave!) directions are great - gravel road but so peaceful and quiet. A little slice of paradiso!

We spent a very memorable family holiday in this fabulous villa close to the village of Alberobello but in a tranquil rural setting.
Cristina was an attentive host on hand to answer any query we had and pre organising airport transfers and car hire. Herself and her husband Allesandro greeted us on our very late arrival with a well stocked fridge and larder a tray of delicious focaccia and not forgetting the bottle of her fathers red wine!
I hope we are fortunate enough to return here at some time in the future.

Our family had a great time at the property. The home, pool, and grounds were great. Short drive into town and easy access to the rest of Puglia. Terrific hosts who helped make our stay even better. Thank you!

We stayed for a week with our 10 month old and Cristina was so incredibly helpful. She went out of her way to put together a crib for him to sleep in and made sure everything was set up with covers etc when we arrived. She was always available and responded very quickly to any questions we had. We would definitely stay again and had a wonderful time. Thank you!

Just perfect!
If you’re like us and fussy about where you stay, do not hesitate to book this property! We had a wonderful week. Cristina and Alessandro were extremely helpful from the minute we made the booking and throughout the stay including extra special touches such as treating us to some local delicacies. They are truly superb hosts that go beyond what you would expect when renting a property. The property itself was immaculate and very tastefully decorated. It was well equipped and spotlessly clean. The pool area and outdoor dining was superb. The location of the property is great. Only 2kms from Alberobello and perfectly situated to explore the surrounding area. All in all one of the best holiday properties we have ever booked. Thank you Cristina and Alessandro.

Semplicemente fantastico !
Ho soggiornato presso il trullo della ghiandaia per una settimana con la famiglia e....che dire il trullo è magnifico in una posizione isolata (in mezzo agli ulivi) ma a 5' dal centro di Alberobello.
E' dotato di ogni confort e Cristina ed Alessandro (i proprietari) sono disponibilissimi e molto accoglienti, nulla è lasciato al caso. Pulitissima e con tutti gli assortimenti necessari.
Anche il barbecue (la casa ne ha addirittura 2!!) ha il suo perchè....mangiare la sera sotto il patio vicino alla piscina è meraviglioso !
Partendo dal trullo si può visitare tranquillamente la Valle d'Itria o arrivare fino a Matera o Polignano a Mare....tutti gioielli italiani da non perdere assolutamente.
L'unica nota dolente ? Aver avuto solo una settimana di ferie per goderci questa fantastica casa.

Wonderful stay at a great location
Located not for from Alberobello but at very calme location, almost on top of a hill. Christina made sure we had one of the best vacations in a very nice restored Trulli. The house and location are picture perfect and ideal for a family with kids. Highly recommended!

You will not be disappointed with this villa.
We arrived on sat 8th June. were greeted by the owners Alessandro and Cristina. We were pleasantly surprised that Cristina had cooked a traditional puglia dish , stocked up the fridge and cupboards, so we could relax the rest of the day around the beautiful villa.
Thank you both for your very warm welcome, you both made us feel at home straight away.
Gave us plenty of information on where to visit, and good places to eat, which we were not disappointed with!
We had the most wonderful 2 weeks relaxing around the beautiful pool. Enjoying the peace and quiet, enjoying the warm weather.
Would love to come and visit again in the future.
Thank you both, Ali and Mick

From the moment we booked Cristina made us feel welcome and special. There was no request that was too much trouble, and Cristina was always flexible - our numbers changed and changed again due to illness and Cristina took it all in her stride. We asked to arrive early and not only did Cristina agree to this, but we received a really kind welcome from her and Alessandro when we got there. Having a lovely lunch and wine, water and soft drinks available to use meant we didn't have to rush to the supermarket on our first day and we enjoyed the walk to Arboris Belli, the local pizzeria, for our supper in the evening. Cristina provided help checking prices for taxis and providing restaurant recommendations. She couldn't have been more helpful or considerate. She was generous with her time and with little gifts of local wine and biscuits, which added to our enjoyment and made the experience she offers quite different from other holiday homes we have stayed in. Cristina has a beautiful home and it is very well presented - there is everything you need available to enjoy your stay. We walked into Alberobello which takes about 35 minutes and we took day trips to some of the nearby towns like Loccorotondo and Martina Franca and we also enjoyed a trip to Polignano a Mare. We ate home some evenings - using pasta, passata, spices and local cheeses all provided by Cristina or barbequiing - making the most of the evening sun and the lovely outdoor areas. Our week flew by. Thanks Cristina and Alessandro. We will certainly recommend you to our friends who plan to travel to Puglia and hopefully we will be back one day.

We stayed for one week at the beautiful Trullo of Cristina and Allessandro. We booked the Trullo to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary with our kids and partners. We had a great stay. The Trullo is amazing, clean, attentions for details and all you need is available. The wine Cristina gave us was delicious!. We asked Cristina if she could help us organize a cooking workshop and she arranged it spot on! Highly recommended. Not only the Trullo but all the nice places to visit. Greetings Lucas, Monique and Kids.

An absolute gem in Alberobello!
We (2 couples) had the pleasure of meeting Cristina and her husband at their incredible trullo in Alberobello. If we could have rated it 6 stars, we would have! The trullo is situated in the most beautiful setting and is even more stunning than the pictures lead you to believe. The home itself is perfectly appointed; not one item was needed. Cristina could not have been more thoughtful and kind, and provided us with wonderful suggestions of where to eat and what sights to see. She was readily available to answer any questions.
Over our two and a half weeks in Italy, we stayed in 5 different apartments in 5 cities/ towns. This was, by far, our favourite, not only for the amenities of the trullo, but for the thoughtfulness of our hosts. We would love to return someday! Grazie mille, Christina!

We had such a fantastic weekend at Cristina's. The house and pool area were amazing. Very well equipped and incredibly clean and tidy. Brilliant villa. Cristina couldn't have been more welcoming, even organising food on our first night when we arrived late. The recommendations for bars, restaurants and things to do were all spot on. We hope to be back soon! A great base for exploring stunning Puglia.

Amazing place!
Cristina was an amazing host and the villa (trullo) was perfect. Great pool, brilliant outside space with two bbqs and a wood burning oven. We cooked food from local markets most nights, and the indoor and outdoor kitchens had everything we needed. The surrounding area has beautiful towns to visit. A perfect holiday!

A beautiful place to stay in a wonderful setting
We had a fantastic holiday in this beautiful place. A quiet peaceful setting surrounded by wonderful countryside made it easy to relax and get away from our busy lives for a week. Cristina and Alessandro could not have been better hosts, they left us alone to enjoy our stay but were always available if we needed anything. Thank you.

Family friendly villa
This was a remarkable find, a fantastic historical dwelling tastefully updated to provide a wealth of amenities for a relaxed holiday. The owner's attention to detail is impressive from external power sockets dotted around the property and fixed mosquito protection around all windows, to an outstanding external area with lovely pool, two eating areas all surrounded by a wonderfully tranquil location. Evenings were fantastic sitting around the well lit pool area, then to bed in air conditioned luxury!
The owners are very friendly people and gave us a wonderful greeting on our arrival. They are obviously proud of their villa and really wanted to share their enthusiasm with us. They left us with some tasty food that represented a great introduction of what Puglia has to offer.
We really don't think the photos do the building the credit it deserves. Seeing it for real was a bonus for us! Very smart, very tidy and incredibly well thought out. A good base to explore Puglia.

A great and very memorable holiday experience
We were delighted to be met on arrival by Cristina and Alessandro and be given such a warm welcome to their trullo. Our new hosts could not have been more welcoming and helpful, both in showing us the property and providing tips on where to visit locally.
Having rented many self catering properties over the years in Italy, Spain, Greece, France and Scotland, Cristina and Alessandro are the best hosts we have experienced, surpassing all expectations. We felt they were very genuine and caring and went out of their way to assist with any requests. We look forward to our return.

Outstanding property with beautiful outdoor area
I can only confirm the many good reviews which have preceded this one. The house is tastefully and sympathetically decorated to reflect the age and character of the property. It is comfortable and well supplied with everything required for a relaxing holiday. The outdoor pool area and two dining areas are beautiful and add to the overall idyllic experience. The owners are a delightful couple who provided us with a delicious lunch on arrival, endless suggestions of places to visit and restaurants to try.
The closest village, Alberobello is a very pretty, historic place with some nice restaurants but can get busy at times. It's probably not within walking distance from the property for most people. There are endless beautiful towns and villages to explore which are within a 30 - 45 minute drive.
It is worth the visit if only to taste the local food and wine which is sublime.
Overall a lovely property with excellent facilities in a delightful setting.

Our stay was wonderful. The area was beautiful and the Trulli was amazing
The Trulli was beautiful and had everything we needed for a perfect family relaxing getaway. A car is recommended.
Christina and her husband were more than welcoming and accommodating hosts and always available. They made our stay even more enjoyable bringing a surprise birthday cake for one of our party. We would love to return to the property very soon.

Gorgeous property, beautiful place, amazing hosts
We had the most fantastic relaxing break - warm sunny weather, even in October. It's a beautiful part of Italy with bountiful produce which makes for great cuisine. Cristina and Alessandro were really welcoming and helpful - delicious homemade wine and food on arrival and a lovely gift of almond treats on departure. They gave excellent recommendations of places for us to go too.
There are a couple of restaurants in walking distance and it's a nice walk into Alberobello during the day - probably not walkable in the dark.
The property is beautifully maintained and well equipped if you want to eat in, and the area around it is quiet and peaceful. Perfect place for a relaxing family holiday. We loved it!

Amazing from start to finish!
We recently spent a few days at the Trullo della Ghiandaia. From the moment we arrived, welcomed by the lovely Cristina and Alessandro, we felt super happy in a fantastic property situated in such a sublime location. Quiet, peaceful and private but with great finishes all round, this property truly works for a family beak in the lovely Puglia. Cristina’s touches are spot on, such as the lunch left for us on arrival to name a few. The pool area is really well laid out with all the amenities. Inside, comfortable and spacious with a meticulous conversion respectful of history but also modern comforts. We travel a lot so rarely have time for reviews, but this one really deserved it. Hire a car to get there and explore or lock yourself up in tranquility. Grazie Cri and Ale!

Fantastic Trullo Restoration
Four of us stayed at Trullo della Ghiandaia in September '17 for one week. Cristina was very accommodating, responding to our requests very promptly and professionally. On arrival we were met at the trullo by Cristina and her husband. She had prepared a beautiful meal and filled the fridge with essentials. The trullo has been beautifully restored and is 5*
The trullo is approx 2 miles from the centre of Alberobello so a car is essential if you want to get around and see the area. Cristina organised car hire for us at €30 per day plus fuel. The nearest shop/supermarket is in the town centre.
The best way to get from the airport is by train to Bari Central (€5 for a single ticket per person). Then catch the train on the FSE line to Alberobello which takes approx 1.5 hours and costs €9.80 each for a return ticket. A taxi to the trullo cost us €10 from the station which must be pre booked as there are no taxi's outside. The Thursday market is a must, selling fine Italian shoes and clothing as well as excellent fruit and veg.
If you want a relaxing holiday to get away from it all, this is the place - switch off your phone and forget about everything!

Deserves 10*'s!
Staying in this beautiful Trullo in the peaceful countryside was definitely an outstanding experience. Christina & Alessandro were so generous, welcoming and helpful. We cannot praise enough their heartfelt intention to create a thoroughly memorable experience. The Puglian meal they had arranged for us in a locàl restaurant was such a lovely surprise and a most enjoyable opportunity to sample traditional dishes. The Trullo was well presented, comfortable, with full amenities available. The pool and outside areas are just gorgeous and extremely well maintained. Alberobello is stunning and a visit to Locorontondo is a must!! As a group of friends meeting up for a holiday together, we all loved staying here and cannot recommend it more highly. Dee. UK.

Fantastic property, fabulous hospitality from Cristina and Alessandro.
I am a native Fromm Alberobello and when my family and I were planning for a vacation to visit my hometown, I came across Trullo della Ghiandaia to spend our holidays there and the birthday of my twin daughters. As soon as we decided to book this property, our host Cristina was very professional and courteous to work with us on planning our stay there.
When we arrived she surprised us with a beautiful cake for our daughters who were celebrating their birthday on the check in date. I have traveled in many countries and stayed at very expensive and famous hotels around the world, but the hospitality and peace we received at Trullo della Ghiandaia, no one can match. We were very sad when the time of our departure arrived to leave this magical and wonderful place. This is a gem of a place to spend your vacation and time will stop here I promise you.
Thank you Cristina and Alessandro we will be back again and again and again.
Grazie!

Wonderful stay
The house is a meticulously restored Trulli. A delightful property which is thoughtfully equipped with everything one could want from kitchen equipment to outside bbqs, pool etc. Personal touches give it a very homely feel. Cristina, the owner is a delight to deal with and very thoughtful. When we asked about bike hire she said she had been thinking about getting some bikes for the house and when we arrived we found she had bought some. Everything made for a really pleasant and comfortable stay in a very nice house.
